Italic Handwriting Series New! Blackline Masters now available on CDBy Barbara Getty and Inga Dubay
This writing program was developed by experienced teachers Barbara Getty and Inga Dubay, in response to the difficulty many children encounter in the transition from the ball and stick printed letterforms to the looped cursive. The child initially learns the basic italic printed letterforms followed by the cursive italic through a series of joins, eliminating the need to learn two distinctly different types of handwriting, as is the case with the ball and stick printing and looped cursive most often taught in schools. The main philosophy behind the Getty-DubayTM Italic Handwriting Series is to teach children and adults a legible handwriting method that is retained over time. The root of the letterform is used, nothing more, resulting in a crisp, clear handwriting that is as simple as it is elegant. We believe italic is the best possible method available to teach legible handwriting to children and adults. It will retain its practical value as a lifetime communication tool no matter how it is used. Italic handwriting is distinctive and surprisingly easy to teach and learn. Once you try it, no other handwriting will compare with its simplicity, legibility and beauty. Getty-Dubay Italic Handwriting Phone: 1.800.223.7268 Fax: 1.503.223.9182 And for adults... WRITE NOW: The Complete Program for Better Handwriting by Barbara Getty and Inga Dubay Teach yourself to write legibly and efficiently with an easy-to-write style that's as distinctive as it is simple.
Revised in March 2005, the new edition, Write Now: The Complete Program for Better Handwriting, is still completely handwritten, and includes a new supplementary section with a complete review of basic and cursive italic. A newly illustrated ergonomically efficient pen hold will help those of you who get hand cramps from holding your writing instruments too tightly Illegible handwriting is a nationally recognized problem, which becomes more evident each time we fill out a form that asks us to "Please Print." Many of us print our handwritten correspondence as a matter of course because we have long ago given up on our ability to write a legible looped cursive. The legibility of italic stems from the complete absence of the loop in all the letterforms. The root of the letterform is used, nothing more, resulting in a crisp, clear handwriting that is as legible as it is simple and elegant. So clear and legible in fact, that Barbara and Inga have just recently given their 164th handwriting seminar to physicians and medical professionals. If they can teach doctors how to write legibly, imagine what they can do for the rest of us! Getty-Dubay Italic Handwriting Phone: 1.800.223.7268 Fax: 1.503.223.9182 |
